Satellit 750 Price Increase

The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

Satellit 750 Price Increase

Unread post by Ben Zonia »

Just got a Hammacher Schlemmer Catalog in the mail. The Eton Satellit 750 has GONE UP 50% from $399.99 to $599.99! That's inflation for you. We should have invested in Satellite 750 futures!

HS' catalog has many unique items; based on their pricing, they must have at least 50% margins on everything they sell.

That's the USPS for ya, if that is the catalog you just got... I had heard they were going to slow some things down, but that's absurd. :blink

Actually, the Catalog that just came was the Fathers' Day Catalog. Since I couldn't scan and post, I just found the catalog online, for sale on eBay for $10.00.

I'm keeping an eye on this model.

As with any radio I will only consider buying it if there are positive reviews.

I have been doing most of my Short wave listening with my Icom7300 radio lately.
